    摘要: A synchronous CDMA telemetry system is provided for use in a wellbore. In one described embodiment, each data bit of digital outputs of multiple downhole data sources is multiplied by an orthogonal code unique to each data source. The resulting encoded outputs are modulated on a carrier frequency and summed on a transmission channel. The resulting signal is demodulated at a remote location and separately multiplied by each of the codes to separate out the contributions to the signal from each data source. The individual demodulated and decoded outputs are then integrated over the length of each data bit.

    摘要: A reliable downhole acoustic telemetry system with increased data rate is disclosed. In one embodiment, the telemetry system includes a receiver having an envelope-detection demodulator and a multipulse-block distance detector that compares a baseband envelope signal to stored waveforms and indicates for each symbol interval the multipulse block having the waveform closest to the baseband envelope signal. The receiver may also include a timing recovery module that models the baseband envelope signal for the detected multipulse blocks and determines a distance for early-sampling and late-sampling of the baseband envelope signal. The timing recovery module then provides a sampling clock that minimizes the average difference between the early- and late-sampling distances. The telemetry system may further include a transmitter having an encoder and a modulator. The encoder converts a data signal into a sequence of multipulse blocks having a settling interval between the blocks. The modulator modulates the multipulse block sequence with a carrier frequency to produce an amplitude modulated signal. The telemetry system may have the transmitter and receiver coupled to a tubing string by an acoustic signal generator and an acoustic transducer, respectively. The acoustic signal generator converts the amplitude modulated signal into acoustic waves that propagate along the tubing string to the acoustic transducer, which then converts the acoustic waves into a receive signal. The system and method disclosed may advantageously provide a robust, low-power telemetry system that communicates telemetry along a tubing string at a rate that is at least an order of magnitude greater than existing acoustic telemetry methods.

    摘要: The operation of hostile environment logging tools at temperatures up to 250.degree. C. stresses not only the tools, it also places severe demands upon the wireline telemetry due to the wide variations in the logging cable transmission characteristics. A robust adaptive wireline telemetry system for use in hostile environments has been developed that combines sophisticated digital communication methods with modern Digital-Signal-Processing (DSP) techniques. The downhole telemetry transmitter outputs a multilevel signal. The uphole receiver includes an adaptive transversal-filter equalizer (TFE) that is continually optimized to correct for changing signal distortion. The system operates robustly at high data rates over the temperature range of 0.degree. to 250.degree. C.

    摘要: Acoustic telemetry devices and methods that provide directional detection. In one embodiment, a disclosed acoustic telemetry device comprises at least two acoustic sensors and an electronics module. The electronics module combines the detection signals from the acoustic sensors to obtain a combined signal that substantially excludes signals propagating in a direction opposite to the communication signal. The disclosed systems and methods can be trained in the field and will readily accommodate an irregular and unknown signal transmission medium between the two acoustic sensors.

    摘要: Improved communication systems and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a downhole communications system comprises a downhole transceiver and a surface transceiver. The surface transceiver receives a discrete multi-tone (DMT) modulated uplink signal from the downhole transceiver, and transmits a downlink signal to the downhole transceiver using a modulation method determined by the transceivers as communications are initiated. The downlink modulation methods supported by the surface transceiver may include DMT modulation and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The modulation mode selection may be based on measured channel characteristics, on proposed data rates, or on other predetermined parameters. The uplink and downlink signals may be communicated over a shared transmission mode on multiconductor cable or wired pipe, and alternatively the uplink and downlink signals may be communicated over separate transmission modes.

    摘要: A very high data rate telemetry system is provided for use in a wellbore. In a described embodiment, a telemetry system includes multiple nodes positioned in the wellbore and distributed over a substantial length of the wellbore. The nodes simultaneously communicate with a remote location at a very high combined data transmission rate. A method of communicating data in a wellbore is also provided. The method includes the steps of installing multiple modems in the wellbore, installing a remote modem at a location remote from the downhole modems, and simultaneously communicating data from each of the downhole modems to the remote location. Each downhole modem communicates with the remote modem using a unique set of frequency subchannels.
